The 20th Annual Race for PACE (formerly known as the Walk of Life for Cardiac Rehabilitation), is back!


This event is a fundraiser in support of McMaster PACE community exercise programs:


    

  • MacWarriors Cancer Exercise Program, which offers supervised exercise sessions for people living with cancer.
    • 

  • MacMS-FITT Exercise Program for people who have multiple sclerosis
    • 

  • MacCardiac Rehabilitation Program, which offers exercise-based rehabilitation for people with heart disease.
    • 

  • MacSeniors Exercise and Wellness Program, which offers supervised exercise sessions for individuals 55 years of age and older.
    • 

  • MacWheelers Exercise and Wellness Program for individuals living with spinal cord injuries.
    • 



ALL funds raised go directly to support the operation of these community programs.


Exercise rehabilitation plays an important role in the recovery and maintenance of health, and the reduction of symptoms among people living with cardiovascular disease, cancer, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and other chronic health conditions. A unique integration of client-centered academic research, experiential learning, and career exploration is the ethos of PACE. The Centre allows students to enhance their educational experience, while contributing to the effective rehabilitation of the participants in our community programs.


The Race for PACE is being held on the beautiful greenspace outside of the PACE facility on McMaster University campus. The event is open to all members of the McMaster and surrounding community, program participants, students, and family and friends of the PACE.


Join us on Saturday, May 25, 2024, for a morning filled with fun activities, exciting prizes, delicious snacks, and joyful laughter. Alternatively, you can support our cause by donating to help us reach our target of raising $30,000 for McMaster PACE community exercise programs.
